La Dolce Vita

La Vita Loca

The Rat Pack’s Go-To Italian Joint, Reborn

For instance. You totally regret that you were planning to eat something other than a ciabatta burger at
Sinatra’s old haunt tonight.

Regrets, you now have one fewer.

Meet the new La Dolce Vita, the cosmetically enhanced reboot of the Rat Pack’s favorite Italian
restaurant, now soft-open and officially reopening Thursday.

If the guys were still around, they’d recognize the exposed brick, mirrored walls and photos of Gable and
Cooper you’ll still see when you walk in. Nobody went crazy with bottle-service birdcages or a mechanical
donkey or anything.

You’ll obviously want to commandeer the red leather Sinatra booth—it’s got a placard on it. Can’t
miss it. That’s where you’ll get going on LDV Old Fashioneds (now with muddled blackberries and
blood-orange bitters) and the new fontina burger on ciabatta. Or pasta, of course, like housemade linguini with
littlenecks.

After a few LDVs, you could almost believe that’s the Rat Pack you see coming through the front
door.
